THE FOLIO (1SSN0274-4856) is the monthly pu-
blication of KPFK, 90.7 FM, with offices and stu-
dios at 3729 Cahuenga Blvd. West, North Hollywood
CA 91604. Second Class Postage paid at Studio City
CA and additional mailing offices. POSTMASTER:
send address changes to P.O. Box 8639, Universal Ci-
ty CA 91608. The Folio is not sold, it is sent free to
each subscriber supporting non-profit, non-commer-
cial KPFK, and contains the most accurate possible
listings of the programs broadcast. Subscriptions to
KPFK are S30 per year, and are transferrable to the
other Pacifica stations. Our Transmitter is on Mt.
Wilson. We broadcast in stereo multiplex with 25
microsecond pre-emphasis. Dolby calibration tones
air daily before the principal evening music program.
KPFK is owned and operated by the Pacifica Foun-
dation, a non-profit institution. KPFK is a member
of the Association of California Public Radio Sta-
tions and the National Federation of Community
Broadcasters.

A note from Jim Berland:

For those of you who have been watching this space and the Report to the
Listener, you have noted a number of departures during the past three
months. Here we add some others. In all cases those who have left have
shared their commitment for a time with you listeners; in all cases, they con-
tinue that commitment, and as with Carl Stone, urge your continued support
of KPFK and Pacifica that is certainly needed now.

conlintied on page 35.

At the Mike

October marks the advent of
change in the Music Department
here at KPFK. Lois Vierk, John
Wager-Schneider, and I are de-
parting from the station as staf-
fers and moving on to other things:
Lois will be continuing her work
as a composer and as a student of
Japanese classical music, with hopes
to visit Japan in the Spring of '82;
John will be teaching in the Los
Angeles area and continuing his
development as an outstanding in-
terpreter of 20th century music
for the guitar. For myself, I plan
to be doing many things: some mu-
sic criticism, special radio projects,
and giving more attention to my
work as a composer.

All of us will be doing program-
ming at the station for as long as
it wants us; Lois with Morning of
the World, John with Soundboard,
and myself with Imaginary Land-
scape.

To be completely honest and candid, I have to say that I leave
KPFK with sadness and regret because of differences here. Yet I
want to impress upon you if I can the importance now more than
ever of listener support for this station. KPFK-Pacifica as an institu-
tion is a vital counter to Reagan and his Reaganomics, and all that
those things mean. It has the means, supplied by its charter, to pro-
vide vital information in times of crisis and to serve as an antidote
to cutbacks in the arts. I urge your full support in this month's
fund drive to sustain this great ideal. I also urge you to take advan
tage of this opportunity to make your opinions about music pro-
gramming known to mangement here. Your feedback is vital.
My best.

Fall Fund
Drive

Men & Women
Against Sexism

As you know, KPFK depends almost
entirely on Its listening audience for
monetary support. Part I of our Fall
Fund Drive is upon us, and we con-
tinue our efforts to declare our in-
dependence from government funding.
We can do that only with your help.
From October 3 through 17 we'll
Intersperce our programming with
appeals to new subscribers, and ask
for your continued assistance. The
proof of the pudding is in our pro-
gramming: an entire day devoted to
the issue of sexism; a teach-in on
Reaganomics; special documentaries
on El Salvador. Provocative alterna-
tive programming is a Pacifica tra-
dition. Help us preserve it.

Friends, Lovers, and Family: Battling Sexism-Saturday, October 3.

To kick off the Fall Fund Drive with an examination of some issues
that affect us all every day of our lives, Jeannie Pool of KPFK and
Don Cannon of the Los Angeles Men's Collective have put together
this special day of programming. This unique look at the fight by
women, men, and children to end sexism includes music, poetry,
panel discussions, and listener phone calls.

What constitutes honesty in releationships? What questions should be
asked when one considers having children? What is the Feminist Men's
Movement and how does it work to actively support women's libera-
tion activities? Are women and men beginning to better communicate
with one another in the 1980s because of a decade of feminism in
America? How widespread is domestic violence and can it be stopped?
What most influences our concepts of the ideal mate? Is friendship
and love between women and men possible?

These and other questions will be posed, and answers probed, with
discussions on non-sexist day care, m_en with children, friendship, bat-
tered women, reproductive rights, the ERA, love and friendship be-
tween men and women. The most provocative program of the day will
be "The New Right's Plot to Destroy the Family" moderated by Dave
Dismore, which includes a presentation on the history of the family,
an analysis of the proposed Family Protection Act, an examination of
the anti-feminist backlash, and the prospects for healthy families.
The evening concert live from Studio Z features Folkways recording
artist Willie Sordill from Boston, known for his political non-sexist
songs; poet David Steinberg from Santa Cruz; Womansong with Julie
North and Kass Krain; Bev and Jerry Praver; and hosted by John
Paul of the Provisional Theatre and L.A. Men's Collective, and Jeannie
Pool. If you are interested in attending , make your reservation by
calling KPFK at 213-877-2711 during business hours.

OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 6

Reaganomics
Teach-in

In Celebration
of Bl^ck Music

Live from Studio Z, a teach-in on
Reaganomics, the Corporate State,
and the Future of Democracy on
Wednesday, October 7, 8:00 pm.
Topics for discussion by our panel
of expert analysts will include the
transfer of funding away from social
programs and toward the military;
Reagan foreign policy and its effect
on domestic policy; civil liberties and
the consciousness of the middle and
working classes. The teach-in will be
broadcast live, and is also open for
your participation. You'll be able to
question directly our panel. Make
seating reservations by calling the
station during business hours: the
number is 213-877 2711. KPFK is
located at 3729 Cahuenga Boulevard
West in North Hollywood, just off
the Lankershim exit of the Hollywood
Freeway.

The realm of Black music is multi-faceted— from Coltrane's "A
Love Supreme" to Scott Joplin's "Opera Treemonisha." On Sunday,
October 18 from 9:00 am to midnight, we'll take a walk down
musical memory lane, into the present, and then take a step into
the future of Black music.

Sylvester Rivers and percussionist Gary Alexander will examine
African, reggae, calypso, political, and revolutionary music, while
ethnomusicologist Dr. Lance Williams will present blues, bebop,
swing, and Big Band music.

We will rebroadcast concerts recorded live in KPFK's Studio Z,
as well as produce a live concert on this day for your listening
enjoyment. Join us in the festivities! Keep listening to the air for
more information about performers as things develop.
Programming will include interviews with Peter Tosh, Bumps
Blackwell, Horace Tapscott, Gerald Wilson, drummer Al Williams,
and other L.A. musicians. And local musicians will participate in
a live panel discussion of the music business and its political
aspects.

As our day progresses, we'll present a jazz program probably un-
like any you've heard in quite some time. Aman Kifahamu (of
KUSC fame) and Pearl Shelby have quite a few surprises in store
for you. And, last but not least, we cannot even begin to think
about Black music without dealing with Rock & Roll, Rhythm
& Blues, funk and Top 40.

Join us Sunday, October 18— be a part of our "Celebration of
Black Music."

OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 7

Film Club Special "Classic" Screening.
The Sandglass, written and directed
by Wojciech J. Has, in Polish with
English subtitles; 124 nninutes, color.
The Sandglass had its American pre-
miere at 1975 Filmex, and has not
received commercial exhibition in
Los Angeles.

The following description comes from
the Filmex screening notes;
Wojciech Has, a leading artist in a
country replete with creative talent,
has woven together a collection of
short stories by Bruno Schuiz, one
of Poland's leading literary figures
of the inter-war years, to create a
baroque movie which enters and re-
veals the Schuiz world of complexes
and psychological obsessions. There
is no plot in the conventional sense.
The film is a poetic relation of dreams
ruled by ambiguity and free associa-
tion. Joseph, the protagonist, arrives
at a sanatorium to visit his father.
On his arrival he steps through an
allegorical gate, a gate to the world
of fantasy called up from the sub-
conscious. Time has not only slowed
to a halt, but begun to go backwards,
allowing Joseph to reconstruct many
things from the past. Events, happen
ings occur as in a kaleidoscope. He
finds himself among the people who
were the closest to him; his father,
his mother, the servant Adele, his
friends Rudolph and Bianca, an im-
poverished trader, the assistants at
the mercer's shop owned by Joseph's
father, and the "Holy Originals," em-
blematic figures which pass through
the film like phantoms (pirates, red
Indians, trappers, soldiers, cowboys
and sailors). The Sandglass is a film
about relationships dissolving, as the
world of childhood reality slowly
recedes into an irretrievable past.
It may also be viewed as an artist's
rendering of the theoretical formu-
lations of psychoanalysis.

KPFK's screening will take place
Saturday, October 17 at 10:30 am
at the Fox Venice Theatre.

Reservations will be taken between
6-8 pm on Thursday, the 15th.
Please present your Film Club card
at the door.

The Dolby Quandary:
You may have noticed that a lot of
films these days boast in their adver-
tising of their Dolby sound. This
expensive Dolby process is used par-
ticularly in films which emphasize
their music, or make especially in-
tricate use of sound. Because of the
cost of Dolby playback equipment,
it's usually found only in first-run
theaters specializing in big-budget,
mass-audience films. (Neighborhood
exhibition of the same films won't
be in Dolby, but the distributors
want preview audiences to see their
movies "at their best.")

Since the theaters which are avail-
able for Film Club use on a no-fee
basis generally show foreign or "art"
films, they don't have or need Dolby
playback. But lately, some films of
considerable merit have come along
which we know you'd enjoy seeing,
and which require a Dolby theater.
A case in point is September's splen-
did offering, "Chariots of Fire." It
required payment for theater rental,
and KPFK simply didn't have the
bucks. We were able to show it only
because of the generosity of Warner
Bros, and the Ladd Company, who
donated the rental money, as well
as the film.

It would have been agonlzmg to
have had to pass up such an excep-
tional film for want of a few hun-
dred dollars, and we know we'll
face this problem again. We're work-
ing on a variety of possible solutions
but in the meantime, here's what
we'll do:

•**lf a film comes along which we
can screen only in a Dolby theater,
and it's unquestionably superior to
alternative films available to us,
rather than denying you the oppor-
tunity of having a Film Club screen-
ing of it, we'll institute a small sur-
charge at the door. The sum should
never have to exceed 50 cents per
person.

The theater(s) will be chosen to max-
imize seats, and minimize parking
problems, but since Dolby theaters
generally are located in areas of com-
mercial density, we have to be real-
istic about this.

IVIeanwhile, we're extremely pleased
with the films we've been able to
show you this past year, and our
efforts to obtain stimulating fare
will continue unabated.

Report
to the
Listener

This month marks the opening of our
Fail Fund Drive. . .Independence II.

At press time our goal had not been
established, but the process for estab-
lishing it is clear, and you will hear
much about it during the drive itself.

Like the last spring drive, this one
will be in two parts. The first two
weeks in October (3-17), and the con-
clusion with two weeks during the
month of November.

Here we present our current opera-
ting expenses. This will be the basis
for our operation until January 1,
1981.

In next month's Folio and on the
air we will present our budget for
growth, which we hope to implement
on January 1 , For many years we
have not felt that we could budget on
the basis of growth to actually meet
the needs of the community, but
only budget to survive on the lowest
level. The times demand more of all
of us. Staff cannot survive and work
productively if we do not address in-
flation, and increase salaries. Equip-
ment will not continue to survive if
it is not properly maintained and re-
placed when it is worn out. The sta-
tion will not grow to meet expanding
needs if we do not reach out to new
audiences, and that will not be done
unless we devote some resources to
that.

What is presented here, we hope to
be a budget of the past. Next month
you will see a budget of the future
and a description of the positive con-
sequences for broadcasting on KPFK.

Our Fall Drive Goal will reflect an
attempt to reach for that new level
of activities.

No Quick Fix

We thought of our programming for
this Fall's Fund Drive with two
phone calls from listeners burning
in our memories: A man complains
that although he earns S30,000 a
year, his buying power is less now
than when he earned $15,000. He
blames this on the poor and upon
social programs financed by the state.
Another man calls a show which dis-
cusses the need to convert "defense"
industries to non-military production.
'But we need jobs," he objects, not
hearing, or not believing. Perhaps he
sees nothing wrong with U.S. foreign
policy, perhaps he cannot imagine
any kind of social transformation
which will improve his life, let alone
protect himself and his family.

Such attitudes, widely shared am-
ong the petit bourgeoisie and work-
ing class, provide the social basis for
fascism. It is this possiblity that we
address in our Fall programming. As
we observe. the alarming rate of cor-
porate mergers, the collapse of lib-
eral opposition in Congress, the grow-
ing consolidation of monopoly in
mass media. We and our listeners
wonder, "Can It Happen Here?"

The October 7 Teach-in on "Rea-
ganomics, the Corporate State and
the Future of Democracy" tackles
this momentous and difficult ques-
tion. Other special programs this
month elaborate on the provoca-
tions of the Reagan Administration:
heightened racism and sexism, the
effects of budget cuts on women
and minorities, and the future of
the arts and humanities (particu-
larly those that foster critical con-
sciousness—see Edward Said's re-
marks which follow).

We hope that these and all our
other programs will provide the
genuinely alternative analysis that
justifies listener-sponsorship: one
with a moral and critical dimension
missing in the rest of media. Dur-
ing the second half of our fund
drive in November we follow these
"provocations" with an examina-
tion of how Americans are respond-
ing: passivity and activitv. We will

OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 10

look at the culture of apathy, at
paranoia, sado-masochism, nihilism,
and the revolt against modernity.
We will then assess the position and
direction of contemporary 'social
movements. And most importantly,
we will return to our Pacifica ar-
chives to take a fresh look at the
'60s in order to counter what Peter
Lyman has described as the de-
politicization of the Vietnam War
and its transformation into questions
of individual psychology— veterans'
benefits and veterans' violence. It is,
of course, the right-wing strategy to
obliterate the memory of the '60s
when a powerful anti-imperialist con-
sensus developed, the better to justi-
fy American intervention in Central
America and Africa, should that be
necessary.

A few words about music program-
ming. We are in the process of form-
ing a music advisory committee, con-
sisting of composers, performers,
critics, historians, and musicologists.

As we consider the future of mu-
sic and other cultural programming
at KPFK, we invite your thoughts as
to how all our programming in the
arts could best serv? a diverse commu-
nity where cultural preferences have
been misused to pit people against
each other. In other words, as we
diversify our cultural programming,
how can we unify, rather than frag-
ment our audience? I invite your
continued response to these ques-
tions and offer an excerpt from Ed-
ward Said's essay which will, I hope,
illuminate and extend" what I have
been trying to say here for the last
seven months.

Clare Spark
Program Director

Excerpt from Edward Said, "Zionism
from the Standpoint of Its Victims,"
Social Text, Vol. 1 No. 1, Winter
1979.

In the particular case of the Pales-
tinian/Zionism conflict a group of
important issues proposes itself for
radical intellectual analysis and cri-
tique. That there is an impasse now,
that real peace seems so far-fetched
and remote a possibility and, worst
of all, that Western metropolitan in-
tellectuals see the situation as so
entirely confused as to be left to
the "expert" crisis-managers: all
these are symptoms of the failure
to be critical, of the failure of in-
tellectuals to contribute in intellec-
tual production to the political strug-
gle. After all, since as human beings
we exist in the same world with the
not-so-far-away peoples of the Third
World, why should vje not therefore
undertake seriously to understand,
and fight against, the hegemony of
imperialist culture, especially when
it means deserting the hermeticism
of metaphysical cobweb spinning,
and resolving to try reading and
writing history for a change?

I conclude therefore with a brief
enumeration of questions— problems
— requiririg precisely the kind of op-
positional attention I have been dis-
cussing since, it is my contention,
intellectual matters, no less than
"practical" ones, produce the world
in which ultimately we all live.

1. Human rights: how is the mat-
ter of US/USSR detente to be dis-
entangled from an intricate set of
other interests: the problem of dissi-
dents in the Soviet Union; the pri-
vilege of Zionism over every other
Sovret nationality problem in the

Soviet system and the achievement
of a special status for Jewish immi-
gration to Israel out of the USSR;
the lack of attention paid by the
Zionist organizations to persecution
of Jews in Argentina and the absence
of a campaign to help Jews emigrate
to Israel from, say, Latin America;
the necessity for Isi^ael of maintaining
a continual flow of European Jews
into ttie country in order to keep
control— indefinitely— over enormous
Arab territory (possibly greater than
what Israel now holds, including
Transjordan itself) and to keep dom-
inance in the hands of Ashkenazim
in a country that is demographically
"Oriental" (the similarity, and hence
the rationale for alliance, with right-
wing Maronites in Lebanon); the ex-
ploitation versus the necessity of nev-
er forgetting Nazi genocide practiced
against European Jews, all that con-
nected with the slow re-emergence
of anti-Semitism in the West, the
general intellectual and cultural swing
to the right, the submission of intel-
lectuals to control of the state; the
rise of state-worship.

2. The complex problem of vio-
lence, state terrorism, the limits and
the theory of revolutionary armed
struggle, its limitations and its pit-
falls particularly as a result of the
neglect of cultural struggle.

. . . .What has been the intellectuals'
role in legitimating not only the state,
but the state's pretense to all rights,
all legitimacy, all values? The rela-
tionship in such instances between
the intellectuals, the mass media,
cultural stereotypes, and the con-
stant latency of violence needs care-
ful study.

3. Free debate, cultural pluralism,
absence of censorship, cultural free-
dom: these also are much discussed,
and left stupidly unattended to by
literary intellectuals who on the one
hand inveigh against liberalism, pro-
claim the clangers of the right-wing,
the dangers of thought-control and
consumerism, and, on the other hand,
live quite happily in an unanalyzed

system of media monopoly, press
and publishing censorship, news doc-
toring, and other forms of cultural
violence. What is the relationship be-
tween late capitalism and the various
forms of cultural hegemony, between
domination and persuasion, between
the mores of the academy and those
of business and government?

4. Finally, (a) what role as a pro-
ducer of criticism and historical know-
ledge does the Western Intellectual
p'j/ jiven the background of Occi-
dental domination and oppression of
the non-Occidental world; (b) what
is the meaning of community given
the construction and abuse of Others
—women, blacks, Palestinians, etc.—
and given also the sustained produc-
tion of alienating technological dis-
courses (colluded in by liberal intel-
lectuals) in the advanced capitalist
world?

To this cluster of problems the
critical consciousness can respond
only with: the study of history, a
belief in rational knowledge, a strong
sense of what political life is all
about, a set of values grounded ab-
solutely in human community, de-
mocracy, and faith in the future.
Thus do theory and praxis become
aspects of each other, when intel-
lectual work more closely approach-
es political worldliness, and when the
study of culture is activated by val-
ues. Ideals, and political commit-
ment. In no way, however, do I ad-
vocate the abandonment either of
theory or of one's sense of free and
complete intellectual activity. On
the contrary, it is those alone that
enable one fully to be, to participate,
in history.

JOHN CAGE: An Interviev*

The following is the second and con-
cluding part of an interview of com-
poser John Cage by Roger Reynolds.
This article also appears In Contem-
porary Composers on Contemporary
Music, Elliot Schwartz and Barney
Childs, editors. Da Capo Press, 1967.

Roger Reynolds: In a lecture in 1937
you said, "the principle of form will
be our only constant connection with
the past." You went on to Identify
this connection as "the principle of
organization, or man's common abi-
lity to think." Later you would asso-
ciate form with the "morphology of
a continuity" and "expressive con-
tent." Would you trace your develop-
ing view of form?

John Cage: I'm now more involved in
cfeorganization and a state of mind
which in Zen is called no-mindedness.
Those statements, given in 1937, are
given as a sort of landmark to let the
reader know from where I set out.
There are certain things in that lec-
ture that I would agree with and
some that I would not. I imagine
that when I used the word form
then, that I meant what I later called
structure (the divisibility of a whole
into parts). Later I used form in the
same sense that people generally use
the word content (that aspect of com-
position which is best able to be free,
spontaneous, heartfelt, and so on).
That attitude towards form is sort
of in the middle, between my pres-
ent thought and my early thought.
Now I don't bother to use the word
form, since I am involved in making
processes, the nature of which I don't
foresee. How can I speak of form?
RR: A chronological sampling of
your work would seem to indicate
that each successive composition im-
plements a new idea. That is, instead
of a fresh manipulation or reordering
of accepted terms within a style, you
manipulate styles or ideas within a de-
v«!ioping philosophical view.

JC: I don't understand the question.

RR: Most composers operate within
a certain style or idiom, and they have
set materials which they manipulate.
Their compositions, each one after the
other, become no more, nor less, than
a careful new ordering of the same
factors. It has seemed to me in look-
ing at your activities chronologically
that your works continually evince a
new manipulation of ideas on a level
abstracted from things. Each new
piece puts into effect a new manifes-
tation of style or idea in some way,
and that the continuity in your work
is a developing view of desirable
actions.

JC: Oh, yes, I'm devoted to the
principle of originality. Not originali-
ty in the egoistic sense, but originality
in the sense of doing something which
it is necessary to do. Now, obviously,
the things that it is necessary to do
are not the things that have been done,
but the ones that have not yet been
done. This applies not only to other
people's work, but seriously to my
own work; that is to say, if I have
done something, then I consider it my
business not to do that, but to find
what must be done next.
RR: Why are you in the habit of pre-
senting your lectures in some unu-
sual manner? As an example, in the
extremely repetitious Lecture on
Nothing, you periodically say, "if
anybody is sleepy let him go to sleep."
JC: If a lecture is informative, then
people can easily think that some-
thing is being done to them, and that
they don't need to do anything about
it except receive. Whereas, if I give a
lecture in such a way that is not
clear what is being given, then people
have to do something about it.
RR: In the lecture Compos/r/o^ as
Process, you state that, around 1950,
you viewed composition as "an acti-
vity integrating the opposites, the ra-
tional and the irrational, bringing
about, ideally, a freely moving con-
tinuity within a strict division of
parts, the sounds, their combina-
tions and succession being logically
related or arbitrarily chosen." Later

you refer to composition as involving
processes not objects. Would you com
ment on how your view has altered
during the last few years?

JC: Yes. It is still involved with pro-
cess and not with object. The differ-
ence is specifically the difference, say,
between an ash tray and the whole
room. Ash tray can be seen as having
beginning and end, and you can con-
centrate on it. But when you begin to
experience the whole room— not ob-
ject, but many things— then: where is
the beginning? where is the middle?
where is the end? It is clearly a ques-
tion not of an object but rather of a
process, and finally, that process has
to be seen as subjective to each in-
dividual.

RR: It is the process of one's obser-
vation, not the physical fact. . .

JC: Yes, and that is why I want to get
it so that people realize that they them-
selves are doing their experience, and
that it's not being done to them. Then
coming back to that question on form.
I thought of something else to say.
When I say that, "I am not interested
in form," or "how can I use the word
form," I have to ask another question,
namely, where do we see any form-
lessness? Particularly nowadays with
telescopes, with microscopes, etc., as
one of my painter friends, Jasper
Johns, says, "the world is very busy."
Form everywhere.
RR: What relation has "cause and
effect" to your work?
JC: That, again, is like the attitude
toward symbol; rather than see that
one thing has a given effect, we want
to see that one thing has all effects.
RR: The notion of causality has been
much too simple in the past, there is
such a multitude of causes and effects,
and their interrelationships are so
complex. . .

JC: That is the real situation: that
everything causes everything else.
In other words, it is much more com-
plicated than our scientists like to
admit.

Oi rOBER FOLIO PA (, I

with Roger Reynolds

RR: For example, the development
of relativity has put Newton's laws
in an unexpected perspective. One
discovers that the neat mottos which
we have for dealing with life are of-
ten inaccurate.

JC: And if I feel the weight, for in-
stance, of my responsibility, then
I'm simply ignorant of the effects
of my actions, because they have
effects which don't happen to cause
me to think about them.
RR: Some composers recently have
admitted a degree of chance to their
compositions but have retained gen-
erally traditional methods by and
large. You have noted that this prac-
tice reveals a "carelessness with re-
gard to the outcome." Would you
elaborate on that comment?
JC: If one is making an object and
then proceeds in an indeterminate
fashion to let happen what will, out-
side of one's control, then one is
simply being careless about the ma-
king of that object.
RR: You don't think, then, that it
is valid for a composer to wish that
a certain aspect or section of his
work will have a changing face while
the general language and substance
remains controlled?

JC: I think I know what you're re-
ferring to and it's a very popular field
of activity among composers at the
present time. That is to say, to have
certain aspects of a composition con-
trolled, if I understand you, and others
uncontrolled. Well, what is maintained
here is the concept oi pairs of oppo-
sites: having black and white, as it
were, and then composing with the
play of these opposites. One can then
engage in all of the games that aca-
demic composition has led us to know
how to play. One can balance this with
that, produce climaxes, and so on.
I'm afraid all I can say is that it doesn't
interest me. It doesn't seem to me to
radically change the situation from
the familiar convention. It simply
takes these new ways of working and
consolidates them with the old know-
ledges, so that one remains at home
with one's familiar ideas of the dra-
ma—of the play of the opposites. So,

one wouldn't have to change one's
mind. Whereas, I think we are in a
more urgent situation, where it is
absolutely essential for us to change
our minds fundamentally. And in
this sense, I could be likened to a
fundamentalist Protestant preacher.
Stockhausen has recently employed a
system of composition which in-
volves the selection of one technique
at a time from a number of different
ways of working, and an attempt to
let any one of them move into play.
This gives the impression of a rich
reservoir of contemporary techniques,
so that in a repertoire of say seven or
eight compositional techniques, in-
determinacy would play the part of
one, and you could call on it, as it
were, when you had some use for it.
But, that doesn't require a change of
mind from what one previously had,
and so nothing fundamentally dif-
ferent is taking place. I think one
could see it very clearly in terms of
painting. You could have certain
parts of a canvas controlltd and others
quite chaotic, and so you would be
able to play, as it were, in the same
way in which you had played before.
What we need is a use of our Art
which alters our lives— is useful in
our lives. We are familiar with those
plays of balance, so they couldn't
possibly do anything more to us, no
matter how novel they were, than
they already have done. "New wine
in old bottles."

Robert Ashley: It seems to me that
your influence on contemporary mu-
sic, on "musicians," is such that the
entire metaphor of music could change
to such an extent that— time being up-
permost as a definition of music— the
ultimate result would be a music that
wouldn't necessarily involve anything
but the presence of people. That is,
it seems to me that the most radical
redefinition of music that I could
think of would be one that defines
"music" without reference to sound.

JC: Oh, yes, I made some use of that
in my silent piece. [Ed. note: Mr.
Cage has written a piece (4'33")
which directs the performer (if he is
a pianist) to come on stage, seat him-
self at a piano for a specified time
without engaging in any other acti-
vity than the delineation, by some
means, of the three movements of
the composition. At the end of the
designated time, the performer rises
and leaves the room without having
made any intentional sounds.]

RA: It doesn't strike me as being
that.

JC: But that involves a number of
people being together, and there are
no special sounds.
RA: If our awareness of time in-
creased to such a degree that it didn't
require that we be informed of time
through the medium of sound— if our
awareness of time became enlarged
or changed to a really radical degree
—then it's conceivable that we would
do away with sound.
JC: But we can't. You see there are
always sounds.

RR: This has to do with the distinc-
tion that Mr. Cage has made between
sound and silence: that the former
consists of sounds that are intended,
while the latter allows the sound
which occurs unbidden in the envi-
ronment to be heard.
JC: Yes.

RR: So that what you are saying, in
essence, is that we might do away
with intended sounds.

RA: Well, let me put it this way. We
might have a piece from which one par-
ticipant would come, and, upon being
questioned, would say that the occa-
sion was marked by certain sounds.
Another person might say that he
didn't remember any sounds. There
was something else. But they both
would agree that a performance of
music had taken place.

Prescription for Survival

peared in the Los Angeles County
Medical Association Physician, ./t/ne

of the issues examined in our own

Doctors Should Be Concerned about

the Medical Consequences of Nuclear

War

by Samuel I. Roth ,M.D.

In this nuclear age mankind faces an
unprecedented threat to its survival.
Events in recent months have increased
the risk of conflict between the U.S.
and Russia, and the use of nuclear
weapons could ultimately be expect-
ed if open warfare starts.

As the size of the nuclear arsenals
increases so does the risk. There are
more than 40,000 nuclear devices,
the combined explosive power of
which is believed to exceed that of
more than one-million Hiroshima
bombs. Accidentally or intentionally,
a nuclear exchange becomes more
likely as the systems become more
complex and more countries develop
their own nuclear weapons. Malfunc-
tioning computers or human derange-
ment could accidentally trigger a nu-
clear missile resulting in a massive
nuclear exchange which would cause
70-million to 160-million deaths in
the U.S.A.'

We have been reassured in the past
that deterrence between the super-
powers would prevent war, but now
we hear strident talk of winning a nu-
clear war through a first strike strate-
gy. Nuclear war, unthinkable in the
past, is now proposed by some mem-
bers of our government and military,
and the death of millions of our coun-
trymen is considered an acceptable
loss.

Both the U.S. and Russia now have
the capability of destroying each other
several times over and there is no pos-
sible defense. In the late 1960s for-
mer Secretary of Defense Robert Mc-
Namara stated that just 10% of the
then existing nuclear arsenal of both

OCTOBER FOLIO PAGE 14

the U.S. and Russia could effectively
wipe out each nation's capability to
function as a major industrial power.

In 1962, a series of articles in the
New England Journal of Medicine^
outlined the results of a "limited" nu-
clear strike against Boston. The blast,
firestorm and ionizing radiation were
estimated to kill about one-third of
a metropolitan population of three
million people. Another million, who
survived the acute effects would die
of delayed injuries. Ninety percent
of physicians would be killed or in-
jured and the vast majority of hospi-
tal beds would be destroyed. Calcu-
lations have been made for other cit-
ies and comparable losses have been
estimated.'

Other effects which have been con-
sidered possible are a decrease in the
stratopheric ozone layer which would
greatly increase the incidence of skin
cancer, crop failures from alteration
in insect ecology and worldwide radi-
ation effects.

Most of us have grown up with "The
Bomb" threat and we may have lost
the capacity to respond as we should
to this threat. When faced with such
an overwhelming catastrophic event
as nuclear war we tend to use denial
as a mechanism of coping. This deep
fear can have a paralyzing effect, but
it could, just as well, motivate us to
act constructively.

Continuing the arms race at its pres-
ent pace is inviting disaster. Untold
millions of people will die and as
many will suffer in a nuclear war.
Physicians as a group have the res-
pect and credibility to influence in-
ternational policy. We understand
the near futility of planning for me-
dical care in the aftermath of a nu-
clear exchange, and therefore we
must convince our leaders to reduce
the risk of nuclear war through ne-
gotiations with other nuclear pow-
ers. Verifiable reduction of the nu-
clear arsenals in the world must be
accomplished; at the same time our
national security must be assured.

What can physicians do? Roger J.
Bulger MD, President of the Univer-
sity of Texas Health Science Center

in Houston, offers one answer: "It
can be strongly argued that nuclear
holocaust is the greatest threat to the
health and propagation of the human
race, and therefore it seems appro-
priate and desirable for organized
medicine and physicians to become
educated and in turn, to educate our
public and political leaders about the
health implications of even a limited
nuclear exchange.

"Our job as physicians is to warn
against the health dangers of nuclear
war and as citizens to find a way to
maintain our defenses and our free-
dom."^

Dr. Bulger's is not the only voice
to speak out on the subject.'* Physi-
cians from the U.S., Russia and Eur-
ope have met to discuss this issue.
Recently, the CMA House of Dele-
gates endorsed a resolution asking
the AMA to petition the World Medi-'
cal Association to hold an interna-
tional convocation of physicians
from all the world's nuclear powers
to discuss the medical consequences
and prevention of nuclear war.

A national organization. Physicians
for Social Responsibility (PSR), has
formed as a nonprofit group dedica-
ted to educating physicians and the
public about the medical effects of
nuclear v,/ar. Among its sponsors are
Sidney Alexander MD of the Lahey
Clinic Foundation; George N. Berdell
MD, University of Iowa College of Me-
dicine; Helen Caldicott MB, BS, PSR
President, Harvard Medical School;
Oliver Cope MD, Harvard Medical
School; H. Jack Geiger MD, City Col-
lege of New York; Bernard Lown MD,
Harvard School of Public Health; John
P. Merrill MD, Harvard Medical School;
Joans Salk MD, Salk Institute,

To date, there are 15 chapters in
the U.S. The newly formed Los Ange-
les chapter sponsorship includes Ro-
ger Detels MD, Dean of the UCLA
School of Public Health, Charles Klee-
man MD of the UCLA School of Me-
dicine, Daniel Simmons MD, PhD
and Irwin Ziment MD, both profes-
sors at UCLA.

Thinking Pacifica

These Folio pages from March, 1960 demonstrate how
times have changed and how Pacifica's mission was
expressed in a different time. It is valuable for us to
consider these differences and similarities, and stimu-
lating to our current programming efforts to see how
others interpreted the Pacifica mission.

TEACH-IN ON REAGANOMICS,

THE CORPORATE STATE, AND THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY

Wednesday, October 7, 8:00 pm

This special program comes to you live from our Studio Z and will
take a definitive look at the current political, economic, and social
climate in the United States. You are invited to participate in our
live, in-studio audience for this event so that you can directly ques-
tion our panel of experts and analysts.

Under discussion this evening will be the transfer of funding away
from social programs and toward the military; the importance of
Reagan foreign policy in Influencing domestic policy; the conscious-
ness of the middle class and the working class, and to what degree
we are experiencing a new period of repression and restriction of
civil liberties.

This program will explore such frequently heard sentiments as
"Reagan is looking out for the little guy and getting big govern-
ment off our backs." This program was partially inspired by a
phone call from a KPFK listener who said he was angry at peo-
ple because he now earns 530,000 a year and yet has less pur-
chasing power than when he earned half that amount. The caller
went on to blame "those people on welfare" for his dropoff in
living standards. In the fear that such sentiments as these could
lead toward a new authoritarianism in the U.S., KPFK presents
tonight's program in the spirit of trying to understand the com-
plex forces now at play in our society.

Please come down and join us for this live program. Phone 213-
877-2711 during business hours to make your reservations.

the fair can be in terms of staff energies and station monies.
It, and other events like it, detract from our first priority of
doing RADIO.

For those of you \n\\q shopped at the fair for vkfinlcr-time pre-
sents, why not consider giving a gift subscription to KPFK?
A subscription form can be found on page 38 of the Folio;
or. you can call the station and have us bill you.

Thanks again for your past supp'^n'
